[cc-community] by-nc-sa 3.0 on a wiki with ads

http://howto.wired.com is a wiki with ads.  They use by-nc-sa 3.0.  I
understand that they can display their own original content on such a site
with ads without a problem, but when a third party, such as myself, makes an
edit, does that not create a violation between the third-party contribution
and Wired's ads?

Here's another way to put it: this license does not require an extra clause
that says, "We can commercialize your third-party contributions, but no one
else can."

I assume someone's legal department figured this out.  I am not claiming a
violation, but I am curious how this works out.  :)
